Chapter 0503: The Valcy Knight's Loyal Hymn (First Update)
To be precise, Liszt wanted to create theatrical stage plays, similar to Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.
Of course, he doesn't know much about this kind of stage play.
I've never seen a full stage play.
But it does not prevent him from creating a new stage play in this world, and he does not need to be a profound art form, nor does he need to have rich plot content, but only needs to create the form of a stage play. When the stage play becomes popular, there will naturally be families who will create really good works.
Even.
Liszt only needed to adapt one or two of the more classic knights to create a stage play. And according to the prompts of the smoke mission, Ai knew that Vile Mask itself had an artistic element, and all that was missing was inspiration. Adapt the stage play and hand it over to the other party.
"Avril, I'm going to buy your burlesque team and help you create a new theatrical form of stage play. In the future, your team will move to Flower Town, mainly for the residents of my territory, and as long as you rehearse a classic stage play, I will recommend you to perform in a bigger city. ā
The burlesque team is a group of free people, and they are free people who live a relatively difficult life, and most of them are related to each other.
Liszt was willing to buy, and Avril and her family had no reason to disagree. And the new stage play also deeply attracted Avril: "Lord Lord, Avril is very willing to perform a stage play for you, but I don't know if it will be popular. ā
"Don't worry about whether you welcome it or not, I will buy your team and set a basic salary for you according to the standards of the workshops in the territory. After that, the proceeds of each performance will be divided...... My expectation for you is to study art, not to make money. ā
Whether a stage play can make money depends on whether this form of artistic performance can be recognized.
However, no matter how popular the stage play is, the time and number of team performances are also limited, and it is very difficult to make a lot of money. Liszt had a large number of industries in his hands, and he did not need to count on stage plays to make money at all.
He invests in stage plays, one is to do tasks, and the other is to do publicity.
Even if you pay for it, you are willing to do it.
After receiving Liszt's affirmative reply, Avril was overjoyed and asked Liszt on the spot how to rehearse the stage play.
"I've already told you about the format of the stage play, and you may still be a little confused, but you have plenty of time to explore. I recommend two knightly books, "The Loyal Hymn of the Varsi Knights" and "Sir Piero the Aspirant", to simplify them, distill the main story, and then arrange them on stage. ā
These two knights, without too many war scenes, are more realistic and easy to adapt.
The most important thing is that the theme is healthy.
"The Hymn to the Loyalty of the Valcy Knights" is a tale of the loyal protection of the lord of the realm, while "The Aspiring Sir Piero" depicts a commoner who bravely follows his lord and eventually becomes a glorious knight of the noble lord.
There is no doubt that this kind of story is rejoiced by the common people and appreciated by the aristocracy.
"Avril, you rehearse a rough story as soon as possible, and then I'll guide you on which part is problematic, and then you can make changes. In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Liszt made another limit, "In three days, I will see the "Hymn to Valcy" on the stage. ā
"My lord, if three days is too short, IāI don't know if I can do it well. ā
"Then I'll give you a little more pointers, the story of "Valcy" is relatively simple - the territory came to the robbers, the lord was injured, Valcy loyally protected the lord, he played extraordinarily to defeat the bandits, the territory was safe, so the lord gave him a lot of rewards. All you have to do is take a screenshot of the main story, add a little dialogue, and do some simple action imitations. ā
"Then I'll give it a try. ā
"Go ahead. ā
......
Avril's burlesque team, renamed the "Dark Horse Island Repertory Theatre", began to concentrate on choreographing "The Loyal Hymn of the Valcy Knights".
Liszt took Chrissy Truth on a trip to Dark Horse Island to choose the address of the Mage's Tower.
Usually mages will build their mage towers in a relatively remote location, so that they can conduct truth research without being disturbed. However, Chrissy could no longer leave the town's way of life, so she chose to build her own mage tower on the edge of Port Town.
In addition, the port town, the new castle, and the mage tower are distributed in a triangular shape.
She didn't have an idea about the architectural style of the Mage's Tower, because Liszt proposed a completely new architectural style - arched doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and large columns.
It also has a separate stairwell and a plumbing system with a water tower.
The design is also a five-storey rotunda with four rooms on each floor in addition to a stairwell. It is said to be a mage tower, but it is actually an apartment building - Liszt has plans to continue to add this kind of mage tower in the future to train more magicians, or magicians.
He didn't like the madness of magicians studying the truth, but exploring magic and magic circles was a debatable direction for future research.
It's possible to industrialize magic.
Of course, this idea cannot be realized for the time being, and Chrissy is not even willing to bring magic apprentices, let alone train a large number of scholars who study magic. Moreover, mages are highly dangerous, and in order to industrialize magic, they must first achieve complete control over the territory.
Only the knight's vindictiveness can restrain the threat of magic.
"The requirements have been made clear, you need to complete the design of the mage tower as soon as possible, and build it as soon as it is approved by my Excellency Kokris. Liszt instructed Jomayr Rammed Earth.
This architect, who has a bad record, has been working hard since he came to Dark Horse Island, but he has not had any more accidents. Because he came relatively early and had more research experience in rubber, brick, glass, etc., he temporarily served as the chief architect of the territory. The architects among the new serfs did not yet understand the language, and the architectural style had to be adapted.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will definitely design the design of the Mage Tower perfectly!"
Liszt turned to Chrissy and said, "The Mage Tower will be based on your opinion, whatever you need, just ask." That being said, he had set the tone for the construction of the Mage Tower, and Chrissy was not embarrassed to overturn it and build the Mage Tower in her mind.
Moreover, Liszt's plan is indeed good.
The Wizard Tower in the neoclassical architectural style is indeed much more beautiful and practical.
......
Three days later.
Liszt had returned to Flower Town, and the Repertory Theatre's rehearsal of Varcy was officially staged in the castle's manor house, without much audience but the town's officials.
The stage is very simple, the content of the drama is even more simple, and the performances of the actors are also very lame.
"Valcy", which is about fifteen minutes long, ends awkwardly. It's better to say that it's a drama than a farce, and Liszt is speechless to see it, and these burlesque actors don't know how to perform stage plays at all.
But.
When he called out the smoke mission, he smiled happily.
"Complete the quest and reward Loki with a new spell, Levitation. ā
